Maguy is our first-grade teacher and lead teacher at the Apparent Project Elementary School. During the second year of the Apparent Project, we added a grade. So, we needed another teacher. Maguy was highly recommended by Kika, our founding teacher. There were several applicants, but Kika”s recommendation was the obvious choice.
Maguy had previously run her own school, but when funds ran out, she had no option but to close her the doors. She had taught 1st grade for over 20 years when she applied for a job at Apparent Project in 2017!
Maguy is also a trained Montessori teacher and is excellent at hands-on learning. Her natural ability to teach, combined with years of experience & training are so valuable! She loves teaching 1st grade because it establishes a good foundation for future learning.
In Haiti, there is a national test at the end of the school year that students need to pass to be promoted to the next grade. Maguy prepares them well, working with kids individually as needed. She is motivated to provide an opportunity for the poor to receive a quality education.
When we hired Maguy… she was the obvious best choice! But she required a higher salary than the other applicants! Stepping out in faith, we said yes to Maguy! She has never disappointed us. What a privilege to have Maguy!
